Chapter 549: Widow Seeks Medical Treatment
The visitor was a mature lady in her thirties, with fair and smooth skin, a voluptuous figure, and especially a fierce development, with a round, clean white face, a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, and an affectionate look, always giving the impression of seducing men.
Widow Li, the most famous woman in West River Village!
In West River Village, no one didn't know Widow Li. She was the object of many men's fantasies in the village and also the existence that other women feared. The women were all afraid she would seduce their men.
For instance, the tragedy of Chen Huzi today was because Chen Huzi helped Widow Li move some rice, which made Zhao Xiue suspicious.
Truly a femme fatale.
It wasn't their fault. Widow Li was indeed beautiful, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to speak love. Which man could resist? Moreover, she lived alone. Wouldn't she be lonely? If she wanted a man, wouldn't she start in the village?
It's said that Widow Li was from the city and married a villager, Chen Sanshui, from West River Village ten years ago. It was a sensation in the village when Chen Sanshui brought back such a beautiful wife after working in the city. Everyone was envious.
But only three days after the wedding, Chen Sanshui suddenly died unexpectedly.
Chen Sanshui had no other relatives, so Widow Li buried him and inherited his house and land, settling down in West River Village.
By rights, Widow Li was young and beautiful then and could have remarried, but for some reason, she never left West River Village after Chen Sanshui's death.
In the past decade, various rumors about Widow Li never stopped, with frequent claims that she was having affairs with village men. Although none were proven, the gossip made it seem like Widow Li had slept with all the men in West River Village.
Today, Zhao Xiue suspected Chen Huzi of having an affair with Widow Li, which led her to stab Chen Huzi in a fit of rage, nearly causing a fatal incident.
This is probably what they mean by femme fatale.
The women secretly hated Widow Li, and whenever they saw her, they didn't give her good looks, some even rolling their eyes.
The men were the opposite, eager to strike up a conversation with Widow Li.
But Widow Li was very low-key, mostly staying at home and rarely walking around the village. Over time, everyone got used to it.
Lin Fan had a special feeling for Widow Li because he secretly watched her bathe years ago. That was when Lin Fan was still a student.
That time, Lin Fan was home for the holiday and it was already dark, with a full moon hanging in the sky. Passing by the river, he unexpectedly discovered a woman bathing by the river.
Lin Fan quickly hid in the reeds by the river and peeked.
He saw that the woman bathing was the most beautiful woman in the village, Widow Li.
Whenever Lin Fan saw her walking around the village, he couldn't take his eyes off her. Widow Li's allure was just that strong.
This encounter was really unexpected. Under the moonlight, Widow Li was naked, with half her body soaked in the river, exposing her upper body. Her fair and tender body seemed clad in holy light, showcasing her fragrant shoulders and wasp waist...
That was the first time Lin Fan saw a woman's body. Since then, he couldn't help but feel excited every time he saw Widow Li.
At this moment, Lin Fan couldn't help but recall that night. Years had passed, and Widow Li hadn't changed at all. She was still as fair and beautiful as ever. Many women in the village faded after thirty, but few maintained it like Widow Li.
"Is Doctor Liu not here?" Widow Li asked softly as she entered, her voice pleasant and giving a tingly feeling.
Liu Zixing replied, "My dad is out for a consultation. Sister-in-law, where do you feel unwell?"
Widow Li seemed a little embarrassed, "Well..."
Liu Zixing said, "It's okay, just say it. Even though my dad's not here, Lin Fan can help you. He's even better than my dad."
Widow Li looked at Lin Fan with a smile, "So you're the one people are talking about."
"Gossip?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
Widow Li said, "On my way here, I heard people talking about how Uncle Huzi almost died at the clinic but was saved. And it wasn't Doctor Liu who saved him. I wondered when there was someone with such great medical skill in the village."
Widow Li's husband, Chen Sanshui, and Chen Huzi were uncle and nephew, so Widow Li also called Chen Huzi uncle.
Lin Fan gave a slight smile, "You're too kind."
Widow Li said, "You're Lin Fan, right? I remember you, but it's been a long time. You've grown tall and handsome now."
As she spoke, Widow Li glanced at Lin Fan with smiling eyes.
Although he didn't know whether she did it on purpose, Lin Fan felt a bit itchy from her gaze. This woman was truly something else; if she actively seduced men, who could resist?
Lin Fan chuckled, "Addressing health is important. Are you here for a consultation, sister-in-law? Where do you feel unwell?"
"Well, I've been feeling unwell lately. Could you take a look?" Widow Li said, sitting across from Lin Fan.
Even living in this small mountain village, Widow Li dressed like a city woman, accentuating her figure and exuding a mature, seductive vibe.
Lin Fan quickly sat down too, feeling he couldn't look any longer, afraid he'd get a nosebleed. He was well-acquainted with Widow Li.
"Ahem," Lin Fan cleared his throat with a serious expression, "Where do you feel unwell, sister-in-law?"
"Well..." Widow Li hesitated, her cheeks turning slightly red, looking a bit embarrassed.
If it were Old Liu, she'd be fine. But in front of Lin Fan, a young and vigorous boy, who was junior to her...
Seeing her hesitate, Lin Fan reassured, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm a doctor. Just tell me what's going on."
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Widow Li relaxed a bit, focusing on him as a doctor, making it easier to speak up.
Widow Li said, "I think I might have a gynecological issue. Recently, I've been feeling very itchy, unable to sleep at night..."
Lin Fan paused, this was quite deep. No wonder Widow Li was a bit embarrassed. Itchy? Could the rumors be true, that Widow Li contracted a disease from an affair?
"Ahem," Lin Fan cleared his throat, "Besides itching, are there any other symptoms?"
Widow Li said, "I feel irritable, all over the place, can't eat well, can't sleep well..."
Initially embarrassed, Widow Li gradually opened up, pouring out her troubles to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan instructed, "Sister-in-law, extend your hand. I'll check your pulse."
Widow Li extended her hand towards Lin Fan.
Her hand was fair and smooth, unlike what one would expect from someone doing farm work, akin to pampered city girls, soft and tender, making one want to touch it.
Lin Fan pressed his fingers on Widow Li's wrist to check her pulse, lightly frowning.
Widow Li worriedly asked, "Lin Fan, is there really a problem?"
"Yes, there's a slight issue," Lin Fan said, "Sister-in-law, this can be serious or minor. I'll ask directly, have you engaged in any unclean behavior?"
